Connecting to Collections Care

We have a bow tie in the collection that we'd like to display temporarily on a mannequin. Would tying it into a bow cause undue damage to the bow tie? Obviously keeping it untied is ideal, however there is value to the public in seeing it done up. The material is silk. Thank you--

Hi Jake, 

Thanks for reaching out to C2C Care! I'm checking in with our textile experts to see if they have any advice. Can you provide any additional information about the bow tie? Is it in good condition (not torn or split)?

All the best,

Liz

Hi Liz,

It is in good condition, not frayed or torn. Its been stored flat and enclosed, so no UV damage either.

Hi Jake, 

That's great to know! One of our experts has gotten back to me and would be more than happy to chat with you directly about possible display options. I'll direct message you their information.
